Aside from my abilities, I had other things to train on as well.
The first is the A-rank skill, Psychic Weapon. I can create any kind of weapon I want out of pure mind power. The process was not as simple as it sounded, though. It required immense concentration and control.
By now, I can perfectly create a short-sword, a dagger, and a knife. The weapons I could create were limited for the time being, as handling more complex ones proved to be a challenge. The power, shape, and other intricate details of these weapons depended on the amount of Mental Power I exerted.
For instance, a simple knife only required 10 Mental Power, while a dagger demanded 30 Mental Powers. The creation of a short sword necessitated 50 Mental Power. However, when it came to crafting a sword, a staggering 100 Mental Power was required, since I always lose Mental Power around 50 and 100 whenever I try to create a sword.
This may sound easy and my improvement may seem low, but it was without a doubt challenging.
I even started creating the basic of basics, which were needles. (For me...)
Yeah, at the beginning I couldn't create any weapon successfully. Even when I did, they were sluggish and would be destroyed soon after.
So I decided to go from small to big. First needle then knife, and then dagger...
But creating them is one thing, while there was another big hurdle for me to pass.
And it is controlling them. Yeah, controlling.
Despite the fact that I now can create psychic weapons, I can't control them. Not yet at least. I will start learning tomorrow if nothing goes wrong.
And the reason I'm training this skill is it will make up for my zero attack power! All I have are defensive abilities or items, while this is the only attack power in my possession.
And finally, the last part of my training was my talent - Mental Inventory.
Talents are peculiar in nature. They bestow upon individuals an innate understanding of their capabilities and the potential applications of their talents. And just like abilities, the more use the more they will improve.
However, improvement in these talents is contingent upon their correct utilization. Let's say your talent is sculpturing but all you do is make some crappy sculptures over and over, then it won't work.
You will stay the same, well, except you will get better at making those crappy sculptures. Hehe...
Merely scratching the surface of one's talent would yield limited growth, akin to creating subpar sculptures without exploring the full potential of sculpting.
Maybe this realization led to the creation of academies - institutions dedicated to guiding individuals in the proper utilization of their talents. These academies teach us how to harness our talents effectively, enabling us to unlock our true potential.
But I don't need to go to the academy to improve my talent since I am already proficient at it.
My Mental Inventory works just like a dimensional inventory, or status inventory. The difference is, it is a mental dimension of my own.
And for now, it's in the form of a cube, 3x3 meters. I can only store about 15 things in my mental inventory that can be contained. While it was just 3 at the beginning and 1x1 cube.
I know the progress is slower than abilities and skills, but that's okay. After all, talents are meant to be like this. You have to discover and learn it by yourself. The progress may be small, but it is interesting.
And I am sure I will unlock its full potential!
That's all of my training in the last two months...
Of course, I have another achievement too.
My biggest achievement yet!
After countless failures and trials, painful moments...
After two months of physical and mental struggle...
I finally...
I... learned...
I learned to crawl!
I can freely crawl on my own now!
Ah! Now I can do it, I can't stop crawling! It is fun!
...
{Hahaha!}
Samiel laughed as he crawled on his bed. Just as he came to the border of it, he suddenly stopped.
{Wait!} He muttered inwardly. {In front of me is now the biggest challenge!}
The height!
As he peeked to the floor with his tiny head, he couldn't help but shiver.
{It's... too high!} He thought. Maybe he was a baby, the height between the floor and the top of the bed felt high to him. {I will be done for if I collapse from here... Let's slowly retrea-!!}
"AH-!!"
{Huh?}
Just as he was about to retreat to 'safety', he suddenly found himself falling toward the floor.
"Waa-!!" (H-help!)

The Kaius Family Castle.
The Children's Rooms' Hall.
In front of Samiel's room's door, a figure could be seen peeking from a slight opening.
"Hehe... Hehe..." From time to time she would let out strange sounds.
Honestly speaking, it looked like a stalker. But that was not the case... Fortunately...
It was Hazel, Samiel's personal maid. She came here just FIVE minutes ago and suddenly faced a strange scene.
{Cuteeee!} (Hazel)
Well, it was a cuteee scene for her. And since she loved cute things, she has been watching it non-stop without moving.
{Young master can crawl now!} She thought her smile widening. {Look at him! He can't stop from crawling as if he is enjoying it!}
{Oh! He stopped!} She noticed Samiel looking intently at the floor. {Is he perhaps… afraid?}
{In that case, let's place some barriers on the floor.} She decided. {I can finally use that spell too!}
Just as she was about to cast her spell, a hand landed at her back, completely catching he off guard.
"AH-!!" She screamed as she jumped like a scared cat.
However, she was able to catch a glimpse of her young master's falling figure from the corner of her eyes.
{Oh, no. Young master is in danger-!}
However, she couldn't cast the spell, not at this moment!
"Young-!"
"Brother-!"
